The install wrapper is in /hamm/non-free. As you have a CD, it won't have the developement tree. Get it from a debian ftp-mirror. Once you have it, copy the communicator tarball to /tmp and install the netscape-wrapper debian package. dpkg -i netscape*.deb > The second thing I'd like is to be able to mount my DOS vfat drives > (/mnt/c /mnt/d) so that user michael has rwx permission for the drives. > I want to do this so that when I run netscape I can configure it to use > my Win95 Netscape files. Does that work? > Mounting is no problem. Add this (as one line) to your /etc/fstab and it will be done automaticaly during boot. /dev/hda1 /mnt/c vfat rw,nodev,noexec,uid=0,gid=103,umask=007,quiet 0 0 I have a group dosdisks with gid 103. This line will allow access only to users who are in this group. But I think netscape will search for and save the config in ~/.netscape and there is no way to change it. Saving the config in ~/.progname is usually a good thing. > The third thing is that when I run pon as root everything is fine.
